Just now browsers are cherry picking tech ideas.  Firefox is going to
drop E4X because the other browsers are not supporting it  (Firefox
championed E4X, but the other browsers are not following)  .  Internet
Explorer is not going to support more than half of HTML5 because...
well.. is IE.    Whatever HTML5 ideas win will be declared the
winners, and put down as HTML5.   For this to happend, you need  Blog
Internet Persons talking about these ideas/techs, and making people
excited, so excited webmaster will use these tecniques in production
webpages.   Firefox will drop support for E4X, and then things created
based on that will break.  Software its a service, and you can't
expect software to run forever (withouth dev love) in a changing
enviroment.
